The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and parsley. Later on, we find two interesting recipe books published in the 1300s ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in recipe books, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
